For the most part I use our den. I have tried sitting on my bed with my back against the headboard and a family room in our basement. Sitting on my bed feels weird. The family room is a large open room that leads to other rooms. Of course somebody had to enter one of the other rooms. The den while have set backs is my best option. However, on the other side of the wall is my sons room and the walls in our house do not have sound barriers so if he is home we can hear everything. If hubby is cooking dinner in the kitchen I hear most of what he does as well as the tv.
